thriller
(original version written by Rod Temperton)
it’s close to midnight – and something evil’s lurking through the dark – under the moonlight – you see a sight that almost stops your heart – you try to scream – but terror takes the sound before you make it – you start to freeze – as horror looks you right between the eyes – you’re paralyzed – because this is thriller – thriller night – and no one is going to save you from the beast about to strike – you hear the door slam – and realize there’s nowhere left to run – you feel the cold hand – and wonder if you’ll ever see the sun – you close your eyes – and hope that this is just imagination – but all the while you hear a creature creeping up behind – you’re out of time – because this is thriller – thriller night – there’s no second chance against the thing with the forty eyes – night creatures call and the dead start to walk in their masquerade – there’s no escaping the jaws of the alien this time – this is the end of the line – they’re out to get you – there’s demons closing in on every side – they forepossess you unless you change that number on your dial – now is the time for you and I to cuddle close together – all through the night – I’ll save you from the terror on the screen – I’ll make you scream – because this is thriller – thriller night – because I can thrill you more than any ghost would dare to try, girl – thriller – thriller night – so let me hold you tight and share a chiller – thriller tonight
